for index, current_element in enumerate(rainbow):
print(index)
print(current_element)

2,726 PointsGuys, I found the answer the way to solve the second question is pretty easy, here is the solution
rainbow = ['red', 'orange', 'yellow', 'green', 'blue', 'indigo', 'violet']
for index, current_element in enumerate(rainbow, 0):
print(f'{index}. {current_element}')
you just need to change the enumerate starting value to 0 instead of 1

rainbow = ['red', 'orange', 'yellow', 'green', 'blue', 'indigo', 'violet']
for index,color in enumerate(rainbow):
print(index)
print(color)

231,268 PointsThe instructions say "Edit the code so that the for loop uses the enumerate method." So unlike most challenges, you will change the task 1 code instead of adding another loop.
The rest of the instructions say "Add a print statement above the existing print statement that prints the index of the current element." So the new print should print only the index. The other one will still print the value.

rainbow = ['red', 'orange', 'yellow', 'green', 'blue', 'indigo', 'violet'] for item in enumerate(rainbow): print(f'index') print(item)
